Before we move on to a vote, can the people with us today tell us if this amendment changes what’s proposed in Bill S‑5?
I find this amendment, as written, somewhat unpalatable. I wonder if some things could be good and others not as good.
Furthermore, towards the end of the amendment, it reads "in any given geographical area". Does it mean that, once again, the federal government will have the right to intervene in any given geographical area, or must it do so with the agreement of the relevant province or territory?
